Pace University – Lubin School of Business boasts that its internship program is one of the biggest in the New York City metro. Lubin School MBA students have interned everywhere from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Ernst & Young to Disney and MTV Networks, according to the school’s website.

Not all MBA internships fit the traditional “work at a company, get assigned a project” mold, either. The marketplace lender CommonBond is looking for MBA interns from around the country to launch a startup within the company this summer.

Because MBA internships are crucial to a students’ future career success, schools usually provide help to match students with just the right opportunities. At Hofstra University-Zarb School of Business, for example, MBA students are matched with different internship coordinators (including one with a focus on entrepreneurship) depending on their area of specialty.
